The slow reader has a tough time in college. Eve„ though a person possesses a keen mind, slow reading may mean failure instead of success in studies. The reading clinic in 7 Bur rowes was set up solely to help students raise their reading speeds and at the same time to increase their comprehension of printed matter. By enrolling in education 105, a non-credit course meeting twice weekly, astounding results may be produced. To start the' bell r olling, a student's vision is test ed and a diagnosis of his individ ual difficulties is made. He must then honestly evaluate his pres-1 ent speed and set an attainable, level•of aspiration. The average person reads 250 words a minute. Rates as high as 648 words a minute with 100 per I cent comprehensio,., have been at tained at the clinic. A student at Stanford University increased his speed from 225 to 1200 a minute, observed Dr., George E. Murphy, director of the clinic and profes sor of education. By means of an instrument called a tachistoscope which ex -2s objects to the eye at one hundrc," h of a second, an amaz ing acuity in wotd recognition is built up. When a student reaches a set level, his goal is raised.. PAGE SEWN Practice as well as concentration is important. Vocalization or lip movement slows do' n many readers and must be eliminated,. Persons in love or unduly wor ried about something must solve their emotional problem before assuming intellectual tasks, said Dr. Murphy. In this respect, the reading clinic cooperates with the psychology clinic located is the same building. To develop your own speed. set a time for reading a number of pages and gradually reduce the interval from day to day, Dr. Murphy suggested. Reading with a purpose also helps. The clinic, originally designed for freshmen, is now helping di upper class students. In the past as many as 300 have been en rolled at one time. Set up through the cooperation of the education and psychology depart ments several years ago, it is now operated by a staff of three. As sisting Dr. Murphy are Miss Ag nes R.
